Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang

adventurous challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

After watching and loving the show, I listened to the audiobook, since I believe life stories should be told through speaking and not words on a page. I’m so shocked at how much of disservice the show did to Eddie’s life story. 

I’m super impressed with Eddie’s ability to reflect and articulate on his thoughts and feelings. The author has a unique skill for story telling to make you feel like you were there for all of his experiences.

Im not really interested in traveling to America, but after this I’m tempted to buy a plane ticket just to try his food. 

As an Australian, the dominate ethnic group in my city is Chinese, so if your looking to understand a smidge of your neighbours culture and experience, Eddie’s book is a great point of reference for some of the hardships and adversity. 

Thanks Eddie!!!
